The right location

For a good result, place the incubator into a heated room. There should not be any major room temper-

ature fluctuations inside it. Ideally, the room temperature should be between 17 ℃ and 25 ℃.

Additionally, there should be a good ventilation in this area, especially if there are multiple incubators

located in this room. There must be an efficient ventilation, as a natural air supply ensures that the

developing embryos always have fresh oxygen.

Make sure that the incubator is placed on a flat, even surface and is not in direct sunlight. Place it on a

solid surface, which is approx. 80 cm above the floor.

It is recommended to place the incubator far away from heating sources, drafts and windows, to avoid

harmful changes of temperatures. Additionally, the incubator should be placed with the included

styrofoam packaging, which provides protection.

General information on breeding

1. How do the poultry eggs have to be stored before placing them into the incubator?

Hatching eggs should not be kept longer than ten to twelve days. After that the success rate of hatching

is very low. Store the eggs at a cool temperature (8–15 ℃) and at a relative air humidity of 75 %. In case

the hatching eggs were sent via post, they should rest for at least 24 hours before being placed in the

incubator.

Important: The eggs should be stored lying and need to be rotated halfway around their longitudinal

axis at least once a day.

http://www.WilTec.de

http://www.aoyue.eu 02 2022-1

http://www.teichtip.de

2. When is the incubator ready?

The incubator should run for at least 24 hours before placing any eggs into it. If possible, let the

incubator run for a week without eggs. Thus, you will easily see if all parameters can be adjusted and

work as required. Additionally, you will learn how the functions and the adjustments of the incubator

work during this time. Nothing is more harmful to the eggs than the wrong incubator adjustments. If

everything works accordingly in the testing period, the incubator can be cleaned thoroughly with a suit-

able disinfectant.

The intended humid and warm climate inside the incubator is a good breeding ground for bacteria and

fungi. Not disinfecting the incubator enables the growth of these and poses a threat to the entire brood.

Thus: Before the first breeding and after every new breeding, thoroughly disinfect the incubator.

You need to make sure that the disinfectant is suitable for the incubator material. Otherwise, the material

can be attacked and the hatching process endangered.

Important notice on the parameters: Concerning the term “internal temperature” (“internal”), do not

confuse the term “internal temperature” (inside the egg) with “internal temperature incubator.” The inter-

nal temperature within the incubator constantly changes up and down. The internal egg temperature

thus is the average temperature of the temperature fluctuations inside the incubator.

3. Which temperature should have my incubator?

The required temperature depends on the individual animal species. Every animal species has its own

requirements and also amongst poultry there are difference regarding the required temperature during

the breeding process. Also, the required temperature depends on the incubator type.

An example based on a chicken egg:

With surface incubator (breeding on an even surface), the breeding temperature is measured on the

height of the upper edge of the egg and should be between 38.0 ℃ and 38.3 ℃. If a motorised incubator

(breeding process on multiple stories on top of/next to one another) is used, the measured temperature

should be at around 37.5 ℃ at any point of the egg.

An overview of various poultry types and the required breeding temperatures:

Type of poultry

Breeding temperature (℃)

Chicken

37.4–37.6

Duck

37.4–37.6

Pigeon

38.5

Goose

37.6

Quail

37.6–37.8

Note: A short drop in temperature whilst checking the eggs is usually not a problem for the embryos. It

is different with temperatures exceeding the recommended one. These are harmful and even lethal and

should be avoided at all costs.

4. Does my thermometer show an exact value?

Thermometers are not exact. Keeping the temperature constant can prove to be difficult, even with good

thermometers. If you run a big incubator over a longer period, you can optimise the temperature, re-

gardless of what the thermometer states.

After the first breeding process, the temperature can vary (higher or lower).

With poultry: If the hatching takes places in an early stage, the temperature should be lowered. If the

hatching is delayed, it needs to be increased.

http://www.WilTec.de

http://www.aoyue.eu 02 2022-1

http://www.teichtip.de

How to check the thermometer: Keep notes regarding the time of the brood, as these are a reliant

aid. You will soon have the required routine to select the right adjustments and settings for a successful

hatch.

Alternatively, an additional thermometer can be placed into the incubator so that you are able to perceive

the various temperature differences and to accordingly readjust the incubator temperatures.

5. What must be the amount of humidity?

The required air humidity varies again depending on the brooded type of animal and needs to be

changed during the breeding process.

Please inform yourself beforehand to know which requirements need to be met inside the incubator.

Here are two examples:

Chicken eggs:

Day 1–18: 50–55 % air humidity

From day 19 on: 70–75 % air humidity

Quail eggs:

Day 1–14: 55 % air humidity

From day 15 on: 75 % air humidity

The air humidity is increased towards the end of the breeding with poultry eggs, it softens the hard

membrane inside the egg. Without the increased humidity, the chicks cannot break neither through the

membrane nor through the egg shell. Yet, the humidity should not be increased too much either, as the

chicks might drown.

Note: The humidity is monitored with a so-called hygrometer. It is nearly impossible to keep the humidity

as exact as the temperature, especially in small incubators. Just try to keep it as exact as possible.

The temperature is the significant criteria. Even a small deviation (e.g., a couple of degrees) can ruin

the breeding process or lead to a bad result.

Important: The air humidity changes just like the season.

If the breeding is carried out in January and February, it is very difficult to keep the humidity at the

desired level, as the external humidity is rather low (depending on the location).

In June and July, the external humidity usually is higher, leading the humidity in the incubator to be

higher than desired. To avoid these problems, change the water surface in the incubator: To increase

the humidity and thus the water surface, place an additional container with water/a few small moist

sponges inside the incubator. Alternatively, the eggs can be sprayed with fine water mist. To reduce the

humidity, decrease the water surface and use smaller containers.

6. How long is the incubation time?

Poultry type

Incubation time (days) [normal deviation: 1–2]

Chicken

20–21

Duck

Pigeon

Goose

Quail

16–18

7. Poultry eggs: When should I start to turn and at what frequency? From which moment onwards

do they not to be turned any longer?

The incubator does not have an automatic turning mechanism; thus, the eggs need to be turned

by hand. The embryos are very sensitive during the first days; therefore, shakes should be avoided.

This also means that the eggs should only be turned from the fourth day onward. The easiest method

http://www.WilTec.de

http://www.aoyue.eu 02 2022-1

http://www.teichtip.de

of assistance is to carefully mark the egg on two opposite areas, to see to which area the egg needs to

be turned to. It is recommended to turn the eggs 5 times a day with a minimum of 90°.

Additionally, the incubator should stay closed within the first three days of breeding, if possible. This

allows for a better climate.

Important: During the last two to three days of the breeding process, the eggs must not be turned

any longer. As the chicks are finding a hatching position, thus the position must not be changed any

more.

8. What is to be paid attention to during the last days of the breeding process?

During the last two or three days before hatching, the poultry eggs must not only not be turned any

more, but also the entire incubator needs to stay closed. The humid, warm atmosphere needs to stay

consistent during the last days of the breeding, to soften the egg membrane and enables the hatching

process.

Note: Most chicks do not cope with a complete collapse of the climate.

9. Poultry eggs: What happens after hatching?

Congratulations, your chicks have hatched! Have a little patience, as the freshly hatched chicks should

stay in the incubator for approx. 24 hours longer, to be able to recover and dry off.

Important: Remove the water container. Otherwise, humidity is too high for the chicks and there is the

danger of the chicks drowning. Although, the breeding chicks still need the humidity to hatch. This means

that you must develop a feeling to choose the best option for both statuses.

If chicks still in the hatching process start pecking the egg from the inside, but have difficulties getting

through the eggshell, you can provide a starting aid by carefully opening the eggshell a little bit. It is

important to be cautious, not to provide this aid too soon. A lot of times, a wrong humidity can be the

reason of which as the egg membrane can dry and get stuck to the chick before it is able to get out of

the egg. Thus, the chick cannot turn any longer and hatch.

Note: There must be a sufficient fresh air flow, as the young animals can otherwise suffocate in the

closed container. If an integrated air hole is available, it will ensure for fresh air.

Operation

Before the eggs are placed into the incubator, do the following:

1. Open the packaging and check the content on integrity.

Note: The incubator should stay in the styrofoam packaging. On the one side, this helps to save

energy, on the other side the eggs are protected from external influences. If there are no holes

for the according connections and switchboards, these need to be added. Carefully use a sharp

knife or small saw.

2. Open the lid of the incubator and remove all included parts, except for the turning mechanism.

3. In the lid of the incubator, besides a thermometer and a air humidity sensor, there is a connec-

tion point for the turning mechanism cable. Connect the turning motor cable in the lower bit of

the incubator into the connection point to connect the electrical circuit.

Attention! It is important not to connect the three cables in the lid of the multi-storey incubators

(item no. 50041, 51273 and 51274) with one another! Otherwise, a short-circuit can occur! Two

of the cables (in this case the two yellow ones) belong to the upper/lower turning mechanism

and the third cable (in this case the red one) is the connection to the central ventilation. This

means that every cable inside the lid needs to be connected to the lower part of the incubator.

http://www.teichtip.de

Fig. 1: Right: The three cables are NOT connected

with each another.

Fig. 2: Wrong: Turning motor and ventilation are

connected, a short circuit will damage the

incubator.

4. If all cables are connected properly, check the compliance of the operating current, stated on

the device, with the used mains voltage. If it complies, the device can be closed via the lid, and

the electricity can be switched on. The device will now start to heat up to the temperature which

can be seen on the control panel.

6. The incubator needs to run empty for at least 24 hours without interruption. In this time, you will

be able to get accustomed with all the incubator functions. Check whether all parameters can

be set without a problem and learn how adjustments are changes, e.g., turning of the turning

mechanism (please see section “Display, function buttons and basic settings”).

7. Check the individual values by means of an additional thermometer and hygrometer. If neces-

sary, calibrate the values. Test how to keep the desired air humidity at the right level/how much

water is required to stay in the desired range.

8. If the incubator works without a problem, and you are accustomed with the functions, unplug

the incubator and clean it from the inside and the outside with a suitable disinfectant.

Adding the eggs

1. As soon as the incubator has been cleaned, water can be filled into the incubator grooves.

Please note, that the humidity needs to be lower at the beginning of the breeding process and

higher towards the end. Thus, only fill a little bit of water into the grooves at the beginning. The

incubator has a small hole on the side (see fig. 3), through which some water can be added if

required (too low humidity). This allows for the lid to stay

closed during the breeding.

Note: Please regard the individual requirements of each

animal species. Do not fill too much water into the incu-

bator, as it is difficult to remove it once the breeding has

begun, and can lead to a negative hatching result. Ide-

ally, you have already at the beginning found out how

much water needs to be filled in.

Note: If the humidity is too low, even though both groves

are filled with plenty of water, additional containers with

water can be placed into the incubator. Please assure

that neither the eggs nor the holders get wet. Do not let

the incubator stand open for too long when placing the

containers, as this can have a negative impact on the

hatching results.

2. After having adjusted the desired incubator parameters, the eggs can be placed into the desig-

nated insert. Please ensure to place the tip of the egg downwards and that the day display

marks 0.

3. Frequently check the incubator temperature and humidity on the control panel, and if required,

alter them. Also be aware of the water level inside the grooves; they should always be efficiently

filled.

Important: The insert should not be wet! Otherwise, the hatching results can be negatively

impacted!

4. Towards the end of the breeding process, the eggs must not be turned any more. The automatic

turning mechanism then needs to be switched off. Thus, either switch the turning frequency or

turning duration to 0; it is also possible to put both onto 0 (please see section “Display, function

buttons and basic settings”).

Alternatively, the electrical connection between the turning motor and the lid can be interrupted

by separating the cables.

It is also possible to remove the turning mechanism entirely by opening the incubator, separating

both turning motor cables and lifting the turning mechanism out of the incubator. Afterwards,

the eggs can be carefully placed back onto the wire insert. Spray the eggs with warm water and

store the eggs carefully, yet quickly, so that the humid, warm climate is preserved.

Important: Please note that the incubator should not be opened towards the end with more

sensitive types of birds; therefore, it is recommended not to manually disconnect the electricity

supply to the turning motor but to just change the settings accordingly.

5. If the turning function has been switched off and the eggs are not being moved any more, it is

important to keep the humidity high. During the hatching process, the lid should remain closed.

Water can be added with a jug to avoid the eggshells from drying out.

When the chicks are hatched, you will need to ensure that they cannot drown, whilst potentially

still breeding chicks still need to hatch.

Display, function buttons and basic settings

(for the incubator with item no. 51076)

On the left outer corner of the control panel is the connection for the electricity plug.

On the right outer corner there is the on/off switch. It is important that the electricity plug is completely

plugged in before operating the on/off switch. If the on/off switch is glowing, the incubator is switched

on and ready for use.

Besides the four displays (1 and 2), there are three more buttons with which the incubator is operated

(see “Function buttons description”) and two small lamps which glow when the heater is heating

(“work”) or adjustments are being made (“set”).

Display 1 shows the temperature in Celsius.

Display 2 shows the humidity percentage.

Function buttons explanation

(for the incubator with item no. 51076)

The incubator has three buttons which are required for the operation of the incubator. The buttons and

their possible combinations will be explained in the following paragraph. Before putting the incubator on

by the on/off switch, ensure that the plug is properly plugged into the according area.

The buttons are positioned the following from left to right (green and round) in the centre of the operating

panel: “set,” “+” and “–.”

1. Set: This button allows to set the basic temperature of the incubator.

• Push the button once shortly: Adjustment of the basic temperature (parameter ID: PP).

• By activating the “+” and “–” buttons, the desired temperature can be adjusted, another

“set” button push allows the entered value to be saved.

• Keeping the “set” button pushed: This will lead you into the menu to adjust the basic

parameter (see table 5).

• By activating the “set” button again, the various parameters can be selected.

• If you wish to alter a parameter, push the “+” and “–” button to adjust the value shown

upwards or downward. By pushing the “set” button again, the value is saved.

• Display 2 will show each parameter via a number/letter combination (parameter ID).

• Display 1 will show the changeable data.

Possible reasons

Measures

Too much egg

white or unferti-

lised eggs

(a) Wrong ratio of male and female ani-

mals

(a) Check the mating conditions according

to the breeder’s recommendations.

(b) Male animal is malnourished

(b) Feed the roosters separately, so that

the chickens do not take most of the food.

mating

keep the breeding roosters together; build

a non-permanent solid separation wall be-

tween the individual breeding coop or sep-

arate them within bigger breeding coops

(d) Damaged combs and gills on the

roosters
